I would also suggest the Kumho MX's, I'm currently looking into a set of these also. For the price they're pretty good performers.

Also, when researching your choices, don't forget to look at noise levels, my P7000's that I had gripped beautifully, but were noisy as hell between 80 and 140, if noise matters to you. It sounded like a messed up wheel bearing.

Goodyear makes the Eagle F1 I have them on my truck and they are great tires. They let you know when they are going to lose grip, are GREAT in the rain, and have lots and lots of grip in the dry. The tread pattern is amazing.

You will run through a set in 25,000km if you drive moderately. If you like to burn rubber they will last you half that.

S03's tend to get slippery when warm, as do the Yokohama.

I have no experience with Dunlop.

Toyo makes an excellent tire, if you can deal with that Off-Road looking tread pattern

Originally posted by 328DTM If you're planning on doing a bunch of burnouts/donuts this season, might as well get something that'll last you LOL or a tire that's inexpensive and easy to replace b/c of it's low cost.

What size are u getting the price sounds a bit high for the 712's, Iam getting those for myself as these things are cheap!, 225 40 18 front and 255 35 18 for the rears....their sizes O.D. seems to be smaller than everyone elses. I was originally going to do 245 35 18, but this is smaller than the 225 40 18 Pzeros I currently have......We'll see since I am getting my BBS RS GT's soon, I might as well slap these on my car since NOBODY wants to buy my overpriced snowplow.....

can you explain your p7000 situation a little more.

i have 8000 supersports on mine and they're making a humming sound ( not really a vibration ) as i drive and the pitch gets higher as the speed goes up. at 140 the damn tires are loud ( i think it's only 2 of them though). It's time for me to buy a new set anyways, but i'd like to know what the hell the noise is from. My cousin told me that it's a thing called feathering. i dunno though.
